Historically, Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) was a devastating, nearly 100% fatal disease for cats, but in recent years, the antiviral drug **GS-441524** has revolutionized its treatment. Developed as a nucleoside analog, this medication has shown remarkable efficacy in curing FIP, transforming the prognosis for thousands of affected cats worldwide.

In clinical trials, a single subcutaneous injection of the investigational drug CD388 was engineered to provide season-long protection against influenza. Developed by Cidara Therapeutics, CD388 represents a new class of antiviral known as a Drug-Fc conjugate (DFC), offering a different approach to traditional flu vaccines.
